Gen. mes $1,000 sword.

In the engraving department of New
York jewelers. establishment is, what
will be when it is finished, one of the
most elegant swords ever made in this
city. 1t is intended for Gen. Nelson A
Miles, and is a token of regard from the
citizens of Arizona. A purse of 1000
was raised to pay for it by popular sub
scription. 1t will be publicly presented
to him i'll Tucson on the anniversary of
the surrender to the general of Geronimo
and the hostile Apaches. The subscrip-
tons were confined to civilians within
the boundaries of Arizona. The amount
was readily raised, and could easily have
been trebled. The jeweler furnished ex-
quisite designs for the sword, which, from
an artistic standpoint, will be the finest
sword presented to any military man in
this country.
No precious stones will be used. The
scabbard is of solid gold. One of its sides
will be left plain for the presentation in
scriptions, etc. The other side will be
engraved with the following character
istic scenes: First, the agency at San
Carlos ION the reservation), the Indians
appearing in natural camp life. Second
scene, companies of cavalry and infantry
in pursuit of Indians Third, the fight.
Fourth, the capture and Indians marched
to Bowie Station, where train of cars
stand in waiting for their reception; and
last is Geronimo's head, with hat on,
forming the foot of the scabbard. This
latter work is done from Fly's photo
graph of Geronimo, and is perfect to life.
The blade is of Damascus steel, and
will be engraved with the name of Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, and scroll work. The
handle or hand grip viii be of white
sharks skin, braided in gold. The guard
will be of gold and be emblematic of both
cavalry and infantry. At the extreme
end of the guard, engraved in gold, will
be the head of Natchez, the son of Cochise,
a moonstone amethyst forming the end of
the hand grip.-New York Mail and

A Man with a Good Conscience

AT one of his Mortified meetings ON
Monday, Mr.. Moody, who was preaching
about Prayer" said: MAN may pray
like a saint, but if he has a dollar in his
pocket not acquired honestly, his prayer
is a sham, and he must make restitution
if he expects ever to have God hear his
prayer" Thereupon a merchant from
Dallas, Tex, rose in the audience and
told story that emphasized this point.
He had, he said, got dishonesty from
men in his business some $500 and
had built house with the money. Then
Mr.. Moody happened along and preached
on this subject of restitution and the
merchant was present II heard you, J"
he said, pointing to Mr.. Moody, '.and /
went out into the street conscience
stricken. I went straight home and told
my wife that we must sell that house
and restore the money. And we did.
We held an auction, and our carpets, our
laces, our furniture all left US, and with
the proceeds we made restitution. Tho
man then told how he and his wife
started again in life with nothing, and
how he had prospered. His credit, his
prosperity had never been so good.-New
York Sun,

Curious Mode of Getting Livelihood.


There was young man stopping at a
west side lodging house until recently
who paid for his bed every night with
| postage stamps. He had practiced this
| about week or more, when the pro-
| prietor grew suspicious. With view to
| finding out just where the fellow got the
| stamps, the hotel man had him watched
and discovered that his ledger not only
paid for his bed with the little brown
squares, but that he ate at several res
taurants where the proprietors accepted
stamps in payment. After watching his
ledger for several days and discovering
nothing that could explain his possession
| of so many postage stamps, the hotel man
refused one night to accept them in pay
ment for a bed unless the man could
satisfy him that they were not stolen.
The ledger demurred for awhile and re-
fused to talk about the matter. Then tho
hotel man threatened to hand him over
to the police, whereupon the ledger. after
swearing his landlord to secrecy, said:
Il am beggar. | live on a revenue
derived from begging for postage stamps

am now doing Eighth avenue. l hate to

one, and is profitable. / manage to keep
myself looking clean and neat, though a
trif1e threadbare, and with letter in my
hand i ask each available person for a

gentlemen sometimes go with me to the

Occasionally get two and three stamps.
When l get together So or So worth, I
take them TO a dealer down town who

why Hannah Left the Church.

A lady was relating to me the other
dav her trials and tribulatious in the
matter of arranging household ma
chinerv so that the inevitable bitches
of the inner workings should not
be apparent to the outside world. In
describing the various idiosyncrasies
of servants which had come under her
notice she said; "'Some years ago
had good settled white woman as
house-servant who. though of most
exemplary department in every other
respect, seemed to consider Sundays
as in nowise different from the other
days in the week. Finally said to her:
Hannah, why don't you take your Sun
days off? You should take some adj
vantage of the opportunity to go to
church. You can appreciate my feel
ings when she replied: We'll, Mrs,

Boldness of BriraDds.

The brigand season is at its height.
We are consequently confined to the
town, and, though surrounded by charm
ing country, obliged to pass the summer
in dusty, disease breeding streets. Only
persons who are VIGOROUSLY not worth
capturing dare travel without a big
escort, even in the immediate neighbor-
hood. There has been some severe fight
ing on the Santi-Q uaranto road, and two
troopers have already lost their lives.
Indeed, if the authorities do not speedily
grapple with the evil, we shall be in the
same wretched plight as last year. Then
the brigands actually tried to snatch a
bishop from dozen well armed cavalry
men, and were only beaten off after a
sharp and bloody struggle. Such was
the boldness of the plundering fraternity
that bands did not hesitate to come down
to the very edge of the lake and seize
victims in full view of the fortress. One
uniucky woman was pounced upon close
to her village home in the midst of a
score of people, and kept prisoner till
ransomed with $1,000. The spectators,
being unarmed, could not assist her. But
viii not trouble you with a list of those
who have been carried up into the noun
tains. 1t is enough to say that the whole
district round about lies at the mercy Of
the brigands. Cor. Levant Her

-Four Literary Successes.

The New York Critics Boston letter
speaks of meeting '.four young literary
men a few nights ago, each of whom
had written novel; each novel had been
issued by a leading publisher, and each,
as far as one can judge from the review
it had received, had been successful. At
the end of year from the date of publ
cation, the amounts paid as copyright to
the authors were respectively 1925. 10,
$3.50 and SIT. The fourth one then
had received nothing. his book-a charm
ing little story, which had cost him all
his leisure for seven months-not having
sold to the extent OF even 1000 copies.
Contrast this with Mark Twain receiving
$50, 900 in a single check as only part
of his profits on one of his works.

To Melt Cold.

Gold will only melt at comparatively
high temperature, as we all know, but
what is not generally known is that if 2
per cent. of silica be added to the gold it
can be melted over the flame of q COM
mon candle. From the same source the
reader may learn that pretty alloy, said
to resemble gold exactly, can be made
with sixteen parts of copper, one of zinc
and seven of platinum. The copper and
platinum are covered first with borax and
then with powdered charcoal and melted,
then the zinc added, and the alloy thus
produced is exceedingly malleable and
can be drawn into the finest wire, while
it never furnishes .-Jewelers' Journal.

Cured of sheep killing.

young Irish setter dog up that way that
had contracted the bad habit Of worry
ing sheep. His owner, ;" says The Jour

has cured him. He put the dog in pen
with a vicious ram, and never did dog
receive such pummeling in so short a
space of time as did this one. When
taken out he was very much subdued,

Peculiar Effects of Fasting.

The effect of fasting on the powers of

of poisonous alkaloids is under investiga-

is found among other facts established
from experiment that the effect of neu-
trail sulphate of atropine on rabbits which
had been deprived of food for twenty-six
hours, showed that the animal resisted
the poisoning better in the fasting thar
in the normal state. After five days Of
fasting, when the liver no longer con
